Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 12 ounces canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup yellow onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup potato chips (crushed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, frozen peas, sautéed onion, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the crushed potato chips evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the tuna hot dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
